what your doing (using jpg ) is correct

you set the size and compression on the main image -- normally ~ 800px wide is enough

I would forget the cryllic letters in the image file names - you may have problems - keep it simple  - all latin, lowercase, no spaces etc

then set the VM thumb size to what you want in admin->config->config->templates  Thumbnail Image Width

dynamic sizing yes

then simply delete the images and re-upload in each product - that way u know it's done right

Many, many thanks!!! Best support forum  :) I must do some more things but I have yet good score in the test.
Thanks again!

Really a nice shop Kiro789,

all in non latin letters, nice. Even the URLs. I am proud on it. Thanks to this great team we managed to to create a real mb system. Be aware, your product images itself can be usually big, except the template loads the full images in the browse view.
Should I fix your bug, please support the VirtueMart project and become a member

I have read somewhere, that non latin letters in URL is still not good for SEO, although Google says it doesn`t matter for him.What do you think, or you have no experience with non latin URLs?

Most people misunderstand SEO completly. It depends on your customers. I was in Sofia some years ago and told that VM is able todo that.

If you use kyrillic letters, the search with kyrillic letters works perfect and you get a better ranking compared to the transliterated ones. Simple. If you use the transliterated URLs you get better results for that.

So if your customers use mainly a bulgarian keyboard and used to speak bulgarian => use kyrillic.

Thanks!I was thinking the same. I prefer cyrillic letters in this case.
So all resolved! Virtuemart is super fast now!!
